The attached file could not be found at the following path

Hi, I want to move my downloaded PDFs from one place to another OneDrive location, so I go to preferences --> Advanced --> Files and Folders, choose new location for Base directory, and click `OK`, but when I right click the attached PDFs --> `Show File`, it still go to the old location. Why the new Base directory is not taking effect?

    The base directory has to first be set correctly for the current location of your files (so that the files are stored with relative links and can be opened), and then you have to move the files to the new location outside of Zotero, and then you have to update the base directory.

    If it's showing you the wrong absolute path after changing the base directory, you didn't do the first step and the files were never stored with relative paths.
